OK, I am going to preface this first by saying that you probably should not run on serious injuries and always listen to your body, be conservative. With that said I did train and run a marathon with a bit of shin splints (still being conservative for my experience in running). I used the KT tape on my shins and it relieved the pain! you also should look up YouTube videos how to properly apply the tape, and once you do, this stuff is incredible and I do believe actually works. Essentially it is lifting the skin barrier to allow more blood flow to the site. I don’t think it lasts the 3 to 5 days that it says, especially if you are being active, taking showers or it is rubbing against socks or something like that. I changed the tape probably every other day, which I am fine with given how well it works. It’s not going to heal your injuries, but I do believe it makes it manageable! I am a KT tape user for life!

Good Deal. Stuff works to take the pressure off your muscles. It won't do it 100% but a lot. With other therapy, works 100%. Read more
KT Tape is an amazing product for pain, muscle soreness, and overall flexibility. I recommend that users read the instructions on application carefully, as the tape isn’t easy to peel and can bunch up quickly (resulting in a ruined strip). Lastly, the company states that the tape can last up to 7 days and through showers/perspiration, however the reality is that the tape lasts a maximum of 3 days, and always has for me. Read more
I love it so much. It really does help with my shoulder, but the only thing is that I think I’m allergic to the adhesive but besides that it’s an amazing product but remember to listen to your body if it itches burns or anything like that take it off immediately!!! it’s really easy to use. It fits amazing and it’s just the right amount of length and width and it’s not too thick either which I love!! Read more
Stays on well and is easy to apply. I love the color, (hero pink). Good quality. It sticks much better than the cotton product they offer. I don’t often feel it when it’s on so it’s comfortable. It seems to help with swelling, leg fatigue and some pain relief. Read more
Honestly, I was skeptical about tape, but my lower back has been giving me grief after heavy lifting days, so finally I grabbed this KT Tape. I was tired of the cheap stuff that peels off in the shower. And the synthetic material on this Pro version is a total game-changer. I've had strips stay on for four or five days straight-through multiple showers and super sweaty workouts-without even trying to peel off. That durability is huge. I also appreciate that the strips are precut. It sounds minor, but not having to get scissors out when you're half-asleep and already achey is a huge convenience. It gives me the perfect amount of support without feeling restrictive. If I have one tiny, non-functional complaint, sometimes the very ends of the tape-the tips that overlap-start to roll up a little on the third day, which is just a cosmetic thing. But seriously, that minor bit of curling doesn't affect the support or durability one bit. It keeps me lifting and running without having to reapply it constantly. Easy 5 stars. Read more
I love it! I have had a torn meniscus, so my knee is weak and hurts to walk but I put it on as directed by my Chiropractor and I can walk several miles a day now. Read more
I use this tape every time I play pickleball. It holds my patella tendon in place and reduces pain and allows me to play for 2 hours. I also use it when on a 3-4 hour bike ride to help with the knee pain. The PRO version will last 2 days of use, and it adheres well through showers. I cut the 10" strips in half to use a 5" strips on each knee which fits perfect. Good for "runners knee" problems on the patella tendon. Read more
